Sokovia Upheaval, a Mutant Nation?

"Pietro."

"Turn on the TV."

"Perhaps you will be able to see Baron Zemo's speech."

Chen Ji's eyes showed anticipation.

The next second.

Pietro the big screen.

The local news channel was interrupting its broadcast with an emergency report.

Baron Zemo, dressed in formal attire, stood before the reporters and enumerated the numerous crimes of his predecessor Spiro Lainovich, thus cementing him in the annals of history as a disgrace!

"Former Prime Minister Lenovich secretly conducted evil experiments, harming hundreds or even thousands of his Sokovia compatriots, including possibly your family members!"

"And I, leading the Echo Scorpion Squad, not only thwarted his plans, but also destroyed his research base..."

"From this day forward, I will reorganize the cabinet, temporarily assume the position of Prime Minister, and fully launch a purge, rectify social ills, and legislate to regulate firearms!"

"No drugs are allowed to Sokovia!"

"Furthermore, I will also conduct a survey of refugees, reopen past wrongful convictions, and restore justice to the people of Sokovia!"

Baron Zemo delivered his speech with measured pauses and resounding force, his words carrying weight and emotion.

The people of Sokovia in the audience were all moved to tears, their long-suppressed resentment transforming into a surge of fervor!

Sokovia...

Finally, a hero has appeared!

Helmut Zemo.

For the people of Sokovia, he is a true superhero!

Am I seeing things?

Is this true?

"Pietro?"

Wanda's face was flushed.

She and Pietro had been hoping for change in Sokovia!

However.

When that day finally arrived, I couldn't quite believe it.

"Real."

Wanda.

"This is thanks to Chen."

"Without Chen's help, Zemo can forget about rising to power."

Pietro smiled through his tears.

However, he also couldn't understand Chen Ji's purpose in going to such lengths to do all this.

Could it be...?

Chen Ji was only for Wanda's sake?!

Pietro's pupils dilate.

I was startled by his sudden idea.

How could that be!

Wanda...

What kind of charm does that have?

Pietro looked strange.

In fact...

This was Chen Ji's original intention.

"Don't rush."

"The real highlight is yet to come."

Chen Ji smiled.

Previously, he had already reached an agreement with Baron Zemo to attract Mutant to settle in Sokovia and grant Mutant equal civil rights.

The most important part of the 30-minute speech will definitely be presented at the end!

"The real highlight?"

Mystique, had a feeling.

Then she heard Baron Zemo speak slowly.

"Before this press conference concludes, I have one more important decision to make: Sokovia welcomes Mutant to settle in this country."

"Mutant will also have the same civil rights in Sokovia, and will not be treated as outsiders."

"As for the relevant details, the Cabinet will also issue legal provisions, now--"

Meeting adjourned!

Baron Zemo strode away.

At the press conference, after a brief silence, a heated discussion immediately erupted, with all the reporters buzzing with discussion.

This news also spread rapidly to every corner of the world via the internet.

Nobody cares about the changes in Sokovia. What does that have to do with us, the beasts of burden?

However.

Baron Zemo's core policies, however, concern the very survival of humanity!

This marks the first time Mutant have been granted citizenship rights in a country!

Before this, Mutant were regarded as outcasts and freaks, hated and killed by everyone, like a raging flood or a ferocious beast, and avoided at all costs.

Now...

Baron Helmut Zemo, the interim prime minister of Sokovia, has actually granted Mutant citizenship rights?

World leaders received the news immediately, and their eyes flickered as they looked at the report.

Washington, D.C..

Triskelion.

In the office of the Secretary-General of the Security Council.

The secretary-general, dressed in a silver suit, looked slightly older but was still full of energy, and was quite surprised.

"Strucker ..."

"But this situation wasn't reported."

"Is this interference from the Vought Group?"

"Or rather, the mastermind behind it all is the Mystic Arts Mage Chen?"

"It seems he really is Mutant."

Pierce's expression was unreadable.

These remarks have also thrust Mutant into the spotlight!

The number of Mutant is in the tens of millions, each with their own abilities and extraordinary talents.

Once the funds are concentrated in Sokovia, it will inevitably lead to Ascension Sokovia's national power, jeopardizing the interests of other neighboring countries.

This alone was enough to prompt the great powers to take extreme actions and nip the seeds of disaster in the bud!

The most time-saving and effortless method is undoubtedly to assassinate Zemo!

Support another puppet to take the stage!

But...

This is fantastic news for all Mutant.

Countless displaced and anonymous Mutant saw Baron Zemo's speech on social media platforms.

A restless desire stirred within me.

I want to settle in Sokovia and become a Sokovia citizen!

At the same time.

New York.

Westchester County.

Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters

Professor X and Beast Hank watched the video clip playing on the screen, their expressions extremely complex, and they exchanged glances.

He immediately understood the root cause of the changes in Sokovia.

"It must be Chen..."

"He actually violated the principles of Kamar-Taj?"

"Directly interfering in Sokovia's politics?"

"Aren't you afraid of the Sorcerer Supreme's condemnation?"

Professor X frowned.

He saw not only the good points, but also the bad points!

The existence of Mutant has been thrust into the spotlight, and granting them civil rights is essentially a form of a "Mutant Registration Act."

After all, you have to prove you're Mutant to have equal civil rights.

Once it's recorded, a secret is no longer a secret. With the modern internet so advanced, information can be stolen at will!

"Charles."

What are you worried about?

Hank the Beast's eyes flickered.

"I don't think General William Stryker will allow this to happen."

"Mutant can never establish a nation of their own."

"Sokovia..."

"There may be a threat of war."

Professor X's gaze was deep and penetrating.

He was undoubtedly farsighted.

[Super Brain], is it just talk?

"War..."

"How many wars have there been between humans and Mutant?"

"I do hope Chen will win."

"He has Mutant Activator."

"There is no lack of resources."

Beast Hank adjusted his glasses.

Through the Power Stone, he discovered its 'isotopes', which he named the Infinity Element, and applied it to the field of energy.

At present.

The entire X Academy is now independently powered, saving a significant amount of extra expenses!

Furthermore, the Blackbird Jet he invented also benefited from the Power Stone Isotope, which greatly enhanced its overall performance.

The only thing limiting his talent was the material!

The lack of suitable materials has temporarily stalled his research project.

But...

He knew the value of Dragon-Scale Metal and wanted to get more from Chen Ji!

Brooklyn.

Inside a quiet rented room.

As Captain America watched the images playing on the television screen, his eyes flashed; he sensed something was wrong.

Mutant...

Once they gain civil rights, they will inevitably encroach on the living space of other citizens. Their innate ability to mutate naturally gives them a competitive advantage!

This will become the spark that ignites World War III!

He was not afraid of war, but he also did not want war to break out.

"Looks like it's time to contact Nick Fury."

Steve Rogers pulled out his old-fashioned mobile phone and immediately dialed a number.

Meanwhile.

Stark Estate.

Tony Stark, the billionaire who rarely gets to leave the laboratory and enjoy a moment of leisure, also heard an urgent news report from the media.

"Sokovia?"

"It seems Chen mentioned this place before."

"How could a fallen baron possibly overthrow the prime minister? It seems... Chen is pulling the strings behind the scenes."

"Is he planning to change the world order?"

Stark's eyes were bright, revealing a hint of wisdom.

Connecting the information he obtained, it's not hard to imagine who is in control of Sokovia!

But what does that have to do with him?

He was on guard against the Divine Awakening, and at the same time, he was optimizing the internal structure of the Sling Ring and continuing to enhance the performance of his armor!

He also wore a Crimson Ring on his index finger, which faintly shimmered with magical light, making him feel extremely excited.

But...

He did not continue making Energy Ring.

He understood the principle that scarcity increases value.

"There's simply not enough Dragon-Scale Metal to forge heavy armor."

Tony felt a pang of regret.

It seems...

He needs to add satellite communication functionality to the Energy Ring so that he can contact Chen Ji in a timely manner.

At the same time.

Located in the western region.

Nick Fury, the S.H.I.E.L.D. was involved in the research on Pegasus Project, also had a gloomy expression on his face, and he couldn't help but start brainstorming.

Who exactly orchestrated all of this behind the scenes?

"Natasha."

"A secret deal may have been struck between Baron Zemo and the Vought Group in Sokovia."

"And you, immediately enter this company and investigate the truth of the matter."

Fury dialed the phone.

This important order was then relayed.

"Chief."

"Besides that, there is one more thing."

"Mr. Blue Project has run into trouble. Dr. Dr. Samuel Sterns is dead, and his body has been cremated..."

"I think there might be something fishy going on."

On the other end of the phone.

Then came an alluring and melodious female voice.

"Mr. Blue?"

"Leave him alone for now!"

"Investigate the Vought Group with full force!"

Nick Fury's face was grim.

Then, Steve Rogers' number appeared on the screen.

"Team leader."

"You saw the news too?"

"Rest assured."

"S.H.I.E.L.D.. will definitely prevent the outbreak of war."

Nick Fury forced a smile, exchanged a few brief pleasantries, and then quickly hung up the phone.

Perhaps Natasha alone is not enough to uncover the mastermind; he also needs Talos's help.

He had noticed the Vought Group long ago, and was also aware of William Stryker's attitude!

This Hawks general established the Sentinel Special Operations specifically to target Mutant criminals.

A response is inevitable!

In conclusion

Baron Zemo's speech immediately stirred up an unprecedented storm, and Sokovia was at the eye of the storm!

The world is in turmoil, and political undercurrents are surging.

The ever-changing international situation may rewrite the course of history!

And the one who started all of this...

A smile appeared on his face.

A heavenly sound also rang in my ears.

[Your intervention has brought about a major turning point in Earth's destiny; you are awarded 5000 points of Luck Value.]

5000?!

This is truly a pleasant surprise.

Chen Ji's eyes flickered.

By using the formula for calculating Luck Value, it can be determined that no matter what happens in the future, he will be the ultimate winner!

"Now--"

"It's time to go find Hydra and sell the Pink Entry."

"With nearly a hundred Pink Entry, plus the Luck Value I've accumulated, I can directly reach the Golden Legend!"

Chen Ji was secretly delighted.

Golden Legend!

Top-tier talent!

He had long coveted the power of the Golden Talent!

Even so far, he has only seen a handful of Golden Talent!

And he's about to get a Gold Entry!

How could this not excite him?!

He quickly opened the Mystic Portal, entered the Mirror Dimension, and put on the Joker Mask once more.

We arrived directly at HYDRA Castle.

This ancient castle stands majestically amidst the mountains.

Hydra soldiers, armed to the teeth, patrolled the area.

However, they failed to detect Chen Ji's whereabouts.

He swaggered straight into the castle.

Baron Strucker was playing Zemo's speech clips on a loop, his expression one of astonishment and uncertainty—this was completely different from what the Joker had said!

"Granting citizenship rights to Mutant?"

How dare he?

"To go against the tide of history and challenge the world's great powers is simply courting death!"

Strucker's face was contorted with rage.

He doesn't need a Sokovia who's out of control.

For the sake of HYDRA's interests, he also wants Zemo to disappear from the face of the earth!

"Your Excellency, Baron..."

"There will likely be considerable resistance."

Dr. List found this difficult.

"Resistance?"

"What kind of resistance?"

"The Helicarrier is about to be unveiled. Once Insight Initiative is launched, I can kill whoever I want."

Strucker laughed in fury.

Helicarrier.

It's tantamount to a mobile weapon of mass destruction!

Once the testing is complete, the first target will undoubtedly be X Academy.

No one can stop it!

"Your Excellency, Baron..."

"Mr. Joker, he's right behind you..."

Dr. List looked embarrassed.

The Vought Group and Zemo have an ambiguous relationship, and Joker and Chen are friends.

Behind the Vought Group, there is also Chen's shadow.

The stakes involved are obvious!

Perhaps, this Joker is the mastermind behind everything!
